October 1914: the destroyer Svea emerged from the Stockholm
archipelago bearing south-south-east. On board was Lars
Tobiasson-Svartman, a naval engineer charged with making depth
soundings for the Swedish navy. He is obsessed with measurement and
precision, instincts reflected in his comfortable but cold
relationship with his wife. Close to where soundings are taken,
Lars rows out to a barren reef, presumed uninhabited, and discovers
a young woman there. Despite her almost feral appearance, Sara
stirs something in him. The mission is a success and the Svea
returns to Gothenburg. Lars, however, remains haunted by this
chance encounter, and feels compelled to return...
